Bookmark or Share- We need a way to fix hardened bags of salt | Snow ... - Snow Plowing ForumOk so last year we had no snow, so I had about 60 bags of salt left over from a year before that. Now I have 60 hard as rock for the most part bags. I had them stacked on a skid and covered up but still most are ruined. So it struck me that there has to be a way to chop these up so I can use them and not just throw them away and buy more.
- How much should I charge for ice melt application on the...I have just picked up my first major commercial property for winter maintenance. I need suggestions on what to charge for ice melting the walkways. Each 50lb. back of melt costs me about $13.00. On a storm we had the other day (3.6inches) the walkways required 2 bags. It took on of my guys about 20-25min to spread.
- Salt, Sand, or Both? | Snow Plowing Forum - plowsite.comAnti-icing is putting down salt before it snows to prevent snow and ice from bonding to the surface.

But there is the risk that an event will come as rain which will simply melt the salt and be a wasted expense.
- How to Remove Snow & Ice from a Bluestone Sidewalk"Scoop up ice melt pellets made with calcium magnesium acetate and sprinkle them in a thin layer over the icy sidewalk. Calcium magnesium acetate is less corrosive to stone and concrete than other types of ice melt, including rock salt. Allow the ice melt to sit for 15 to 20 minutes."
- Fertilizer instead of salt - Snow Plowing ForumUrea is a nitrogen fertilizer 46-0-0. It will melt to +15 F. Potassium Chloride is also a fertilizer 0-0-62 and can be used as a ice melter. It melts to +12 F. Avalanche (Kissner) is +90% rock salt with 1-2% CMA added as the bait. The bait is to get you to pay good ice melter $$$'s for basically a bag of rock salt.
